You don't really have to define something that already has a definition.

cur·ti·lage (kûrtl-j)
n. Law

It would be interesting to see what would happen in a place like Texas, if the land holder witnessed the officers placing the cameras. "Shot while trespassing" is the phrase that immediately comes to mind.

Thats the biggest problem. Not enough of them are shot.
